Shame: Served its Eviction Notice
Manage episode 472531243 series 3501759
Shame has a way of convincing us that we’re flawed beyond repair, but it’s simply a lie that thrives in silence. In this deeply personal episode of Striving Butterfly, I share my experience of becoming single in my 40s after ending a significant relationship—and the shame that followed. From questioning my worth to feeling like I failed my daughter, I unpack five types of shame we all encounter: relational, societal, career, family, and friendship shame.
But shame doesn’t get the final say. Through honest reflection, I explore how we can name our shame, bring it into the light, and reframe the stories we tell ourselves. With Isaiah 61:7 as a reminder of God’s promise of restoration, this episode offers hope, encouragement, and practical steps toward freedom. You are not your shame. Your story is still unfolding.
This podcast isn’t just about me—it’s about us. Your journey matters. I want to hear your questions, your thoughts, your experiences. We’re in this together, and I believe in collective victory.
💛 Ready to spread your wings? Life may have clipped them, but together, we’ll help them grow back—stronger and brighter than before. Let’s strive, shine, and soar higher than we ever thought possible!
